DISPOSAL OF KRAGUJEVAC PLAZA AND KRUSEVAC SHOPPING PARK


INTRODUCTION

NEPI Rockcastle is pleased to announce that on 14 June 2021, through its wholly owned subsidiary NE Property B.V.,
(“the seller”), it has entered into a binding agreement (“the agreement”) to dispose of 100% of the shares in the
subsidiaries holding two Serbian retail properties, Kragujevac Plaza (including extension plot) and Krusevac Shopping
Park (including extension plot) (“Serbian properties”) (“the disposal”), to CEE BIG BV (“the purchaser”).

RATIONALE AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The disposal is consistent with NEPI Rockcastle’s investment strategy to focus on core dominant properties and increase
its presence in countries with investment grade rating. Following the disposal, NEPI Rockcastle will retain one core
property in Serbia, Promenada Novi Sad.

The aggregate consideration for the Serbian properties is €60.8 million and is payable at the completion date. The net
proceeds from the disposal will be used to fund NEPI Rockcastle’s pipeline of acquisitions and developments.

PROPERTY SPECIFIC INFORMATION

The Serbian properties had an aggregate book value (based on their fair values) of €58.3 million on 31 December 2020.
